点评:We visited family in the area recently. We discovered that this White Horse is just a short walk from their house. So, off we went as it was a lovely day.
The Pewsey White Horse is on Pewsey Hill about a mile south of Pewsey, to the east of the minor road that leads from the A345 on the edge of Pewsey to the village of Everleigh. It is a little above and a little to the left of the site of the original white horse.
The original horse was cut in 1785 reputedly featuring a rider but was redesigned in 1937 by Mr George Marples and cut by volunteers of the Pewsey Fire Brigade to celebrate the Coronation of King George VI. Originally the date it was cut appeared above the horse, but this has since disappeared. This current horse replaces a lost 18th century one. The maintenance of this horse is done by the Pewsey 6X Club
It's a lovely and easy walk up to the base of the hill. Then it is a steep but easy and quick climb up the hill to the horse. The horse is fenced off for protection, and there is an information board there for reference to the other 7 White Horses of Wiltshire.
We met a lovely German family who happened to walk up when we were there. We advised them, if they had time, to visit our favourite white horse, at Westbury.

Pewsey 白马位于 Pewsey 山上,距离 Pewsey 以南约一英里,位于从 Pewsey 边缘的 A345 通往 Everleigh 村的小路以东。它位于原始白马遗址的上方和左侧。
最初的马据说是在 1785 年被砍伐的,上面有一名骑手,但乔治·马普尔斯先生于 1937 年重新设计,并由 Pewsey 消防队的志愿者砍伐,以庆祝乔治六世国王的加冕典礼。最初砍伐日期出现在马的上方,但后来消失了。这匹现在的马取代了一匹失踪的 18 世纪马。这匹马的维护由 Pewsey 6X 俱乐部完成
步行到山脚下非常轻松愉快。然后,我们沿着陡峭但轻松快捷的山路爬上山,来到马匹那里。马匹被围起来保护起来,那里有一块信息板,可以参考威尔特郡的其他 7 匹白马。
我们遇到了一个可爱的德国家庭,他们恰好在我们到达时走过来。我们建议他们,如果他们有时间,就去韦斯特伯里看看我们最喜欢的白马。
